BMX photography Portugal

It’s always a good day when a new photographer hits us up with a sample of his work! João Figueiredo is a new name to us that comes from Lisbon, Portugal that we were real impressed with! The scene in Portugal has definitely seen a lot of growth these past few years and a lot of talented riders, filmers and photographers have come from that! We knew we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to introduce you guys to João, so we just dropped a brand new photogallery by him featuring the likes of Ruben Alcantara, Diogo Santos, Hugo Almeida and more! Hit the link below to take it all in!

The day I went with Dani and Mike to this spot it started raining as soon as we got there. We waited a bit and eventually the rain stopped allowing Dani to throw some tables on this sketchy small incline!

Now and Then: BMX Frames

December 18, 2014

The other day while I was moving some things around in the garage, I got caught up looking at the first aftermarket frame I ever owned. I’m sure a lot of you saw the photo above and knew instantly that the frame is Ruben Alcantara’s signature Macneil Ruben. Looking at it, I really started to focus in on the different features of the frame and just how much has changed over the years to improve frames making them lighter, stronger, simplified and easier to ride. Although this frame is from the early 2000’s and there is A LOT of history that came before it, this was one of the more progressive frames at the time. I thought it would be cool to compare the Ruben frame to some of the frames that are available today and talk about some of the changes and innovations that have come since… Let’s take a closer look!

Fly Bikes – How-To Build the Coastin’ Ramp

June 27, 2014

Check out how to build the Coastin Ramp from Flybikes!

After a ton of requests, the guys over at Fly Bikes have put out a How-To video along with full instructions on how to build the ramp from their Coastin’ video that dropped a while back! Check out this video with Sergio Layos explaining, building and riding the ramp, then get to work! Check out a flipbook with details below!

“FlyBikes has always seen things a little differently, taken its own approach and thought outside the box, not only with the team they’ve built or product they produce, but also the content they’ve put out. One such piece of content was a video where the focus was of a team that that saw the simplicity in riding, hanging out together by finding an every day object to ride, in this instance a “pallet” and dragged it around the city to make “almost spots” into completely fun rideable spots. Ultimately, ending a day of amazing riding using the pallet itself as firewood to keep warm and cook food over. Those were fun times and amazing memories for the team…” – Flybikes
